First Families

• Highly influential collection of families on Rigel IV (ENT Novel: Tower of Babel)
  • Influence extends to Rigel II and the colonies (ENT Novel: Tower of Babel)
• Formed in the aftermath of the original plagues of Rigelian fever that ravaged the Raij'hl system throughout the 13th and 14th century, which lead to a general consolidation of families and a concurrent consolidation of power as a result (Tower of Babel annotations)
• Family lines:
  • Corthoc (ENT Novel: Tower of Babel)
    • One of the oldest lines amongst the First Families (ENT Novel: Tower of Babel)
  • Thamnos (ENT Novel: Tower of Babel; TLE Novel: Catalyst of Sorrows)
    • More recent member amongst the First Families as of 2164, building wealth via exploitation of the offworlders of Rigel II and applying that wealth to undermine and replace one of the former First Families (ENT Novel: Tower of Babel)
